Violet’s POV

There was tension in the air that seemed to suck the breath right out of me. The look on Zayn’s face didn’t help either.

He turned to Lucian, seconds passing between them as they locked gazes. I hated it. The silent conversations between them, whatever it was they arrived at were well understood by both parties.

“Well,” Zayn suddenly got out of his seat. “I’ll leave you to it then.”

I whipped my head to him, surprised that he was already so eager to go after all the egging and rage-baiting. “

“Wait, where are you going?”

His gaze flicked to Lucian and back to him. “It’s something you need to hear, preferably without my presence being felt.”

I frowned. “What if I want you to be here?”

For a moment, something indescribable passed behind his eyes. Then it was gone.

“Sorry, Violet.” Zayn had a sad smile on his face. “I won’t be gone for long.”

With that, he began making his way out of the office. The moment Zayn left and the office door clicked shut, I sensed it—something was

  • Revenge on The Alpha Who Rejected Me   Chapter 46 Lines in the Dirt

    Lucian’s POV.There was once a time when I could feel any and everything all at once. I carried my emotions with everything that little heart could muster.That was over two decades ago.I’d long since smothered that piece of shit that only ever made me do stupid things. How did that help?It made me into the Alpha I was. Strong, dominant, and unwilling to break no matter the strain.“Hit me.” I turned to Zayn, waiting to hear what he had to say.The report was simple: Two dead, one injured. Patrol breach, southern ridge. Most likely scouts—testing us.I set the parchment down without reacting. I’d seen worse. Handled worse. But the tension in my jaw didn’t ease.Zayn leaned back in the leather chair across from me, arms crossed, waiting. “You going to say something or just keep brooding?”I looked at him once. That was enough to shut him up.“This isn’t a scouting mission,” I said. “It’s provocation. Tristan’s baiting us.”“He thinks you’ll act emotionally,” Zayn muttered.He’s not e

  • Revenge on The Alpha Who Rejected Me   Chapter 44 Slow Burns and Dangerous Positions

    VIOLET“So what it is?”I didn’t bother wasting time as I went straight to the point. Being in the confines of Lucian’s office wasn’t something I found comfortable.Coupled with the fact that he hadn’t said anything about seeing me that way last night, I didn’t know what to make of anything.“Sit down first, then you can start running your mouth.” Lucian shut the door before turning to me.“I doubt you’d know much about keeping your mouth shut,” I shot back. “Barking out orders and telling people to do as you want must be a huge turn-on for you.”His eyebrow twitched in irritation. Before I knew it, he had already crossed the room and closed the distance between us.“Shut the hell up, or I will make you.”There was a dangerous glint in his eyes as he stared back at me. Too bad, I wasn’t one to give a damn about what he wanted.If he wanted to act all prickly, then everyone was going to get pissed today. Two could play at that game.“Is that always your go-to threat or you just have th

  • Revenge on The Alpha Who Rejected Me   Chapter 43 Cold Reflections

    Violet's POVOne thing I would always pride myself on was my profound ability to act, put a smile on my face and go about as the unfeeling bad ass I thought myself to be.Forget traumatic pasts and borderline bullying.I was it!Well, that was what I liked to tell myself. It helped sometimes, kept the whispers of inadequacy and doubt at a distance.Up until it’s just me and my thoughts. Honestly, the fact that I was yet to fully spiral was more than a surprise. The nightmares were the most annoying. I was still in fervent search of a remedy for them.Lucian hadn’t noticed yet. It was good that he hadn’t—even better that he’d left the room last night.As soon as he’d shut that door, the tears had come pouring down like an unending flood.“Why is it so hard to breathe?”That was the only coherent thought that rang in my head. It felt like my heart was threatening to lurch out of my chest.“Damn it.” I cursed, wiping away at my cheeks profusely.The harder I wiped, the more they fell.Wh

  • Revenge on The Alpha Who Rejected Me   Chapter 42 A threat?

    LUCIANIt had been about three days since the dinner with Kane and Marissa. Two since Zayn told me about West Creak brokering an alliance with Ashborne Pack. Five since I’d noticed something unusual with Violet.She’d been pretty good at her role as Luna, no doubt about that. I had to give it to her, she had a knack for being open and there for the pack members whenever they needed it.Whatever complains it was they had, especially when it was something that required utmost attention, she was always quick to lay it to me. Which was one of the things I actually found amusing about her.What I did find unusual though was certain actions I’d picked up on from being her roommate for quite some time now.It mainly happened when she was asleep. I’d been skeptical when it happened the first time.She’d mumbled somethings in her sleep, her whole form shrinking into what had seemed like a fetal position.I still remembered how she’d woken up with a start, her whole body lightly trembling. She

    LUCIANPunch.Then another punch.And another.I couldn’t quite tell how long I’d been going at the punching bag for but I reckoned it was a substantial amount of time.I wiped a sheen of sweat of my forehead before moving to grab the small towel that laid to the side of my training bag.It felt good to let all the week’s steam into one sole target. Didn’t matter if it was a damn punching bag or someone else’s face. What felt good was the sweet calm that settled on my body with each jab.“Do you ever take a break or you just want to maintain that ‘monster’ title you’ve got going on?”I turned just in time to see Zayn walk in. He’s dressed casually, fully rocking the joggers and a simple t-shirt.“Fuck off.” I growl, turning back to the punching bag.Each jab I make is followed by a small grunt from my mouth. My attacks were calculated, the image of Tristan’s face slowly forming in my head with each strike. If I concentrated hard enough, I could feel the vibration of his bone crunching
